@@garklein8089 edit- you are correct, it is a reference to Cocktails for two, which I am constantly mixing up with luckey roberts's "moonlight cocktails." Dementia mode. Lol
Great tenth playing,don didnt have huge fata like hands so he broke his tenths ,but he sure could play and swing them,i remember Johnny guarneri talking to me about Don's left hand with awe,he said he never missed. Plus Lambert had a incredible sence off rhythm and lift to his playing, especially on very fast pieces. Jp and don are my favorite stride players,but i love them all ...
Oh wow!
Wow!
At the end of Sweet Lorraine, he plays the first bit of Cocktails for Two, which is also on his grave.
That theme has no reference to cocktails for two, it is a made up Donald lambert theme that became a signature closing 😁
@@SugarBearMosher oh cool, that explains better why it's on his grave then lol

A giant
Oh my god
The back handing of tenths was a Carroll Gibbons thing years before Lambert was known so I don't know why Blesh said it was never heard before.
Do you know what the first piece is?
I would guess just a random riff.
